Today the US House passed S. 496, the bill originally sponsored by Minnesota's own Jason Lewis, to reject the December 2016 rule issued by the Obama administration that would vastly expand the reach of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs). Of course, our local, unelected Met Council is the poster child of MPOs with too much power.

Rep. Lewis says:"The essence of this bill is local control. The more government is removed from the People, the less responsive it becomes. Self government works best when closest to the People."
